Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Almond Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 6 pieces Pitted Dates
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by soaking the pitted dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them. This will ensure they blend smoothly into the milk.
Drain the dates and add them to a blender along with the almond milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until everything is fully combined and smooth. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Once blended, taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding another date or a small amount of your preferred sweetener.
Strain the milk through a fine-mesh sieve or a nut milk bag into a clean container or pitcher to remove any remaining solids for an ultra-smooth finish.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
Serve chilled, and enjoy your refreshing low-fat almond chocolate milk!
